- April 26 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing entitled, "The Assault on Reproductive Rights in a Post-Dobbs America." Whitehouse questioned the witnesses on abortion access after Justice Alito and the right-wing Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Senator Whitehouse you are OUR HERO ❤ ⚖️
A man of the people!
@@charlesbartholomew2910 President Whitehouse sounds good to me.
@@GenesisEkBalamEkbalam No disagreement with that!
One of few...I agree
absolutely so
Thank you Senator Whitehouse
It's important to understand that the lifespan of American Women has doubled since they have had access to professional obstetrical care. The decision to abort the remains of conception is rarely a casual one. It's a decision made based on the pain, medical facts, and other factors. Law School does Not qualify either judges or Legislators for making these medical decisions.
@@kathrynshaw192 You are absolutely right. It amazes me how these policies are passed with zero medical input when the entire policy is about evidence based medicine.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse!
Senator Whitehouse is correct.
My mother carried a dead fetus for 3 months in 1969...because there were no other options. Damn near killed her...and did not change the outcome except on a horrific psychological way.
Working for the rights of the American people. Realizing no pregnancy is risk free. Wanting the person and medical team to be able to decide that the proper health assessments are made at the appropriate time and for each person. No law should undermine people's lives.
Brilliant...this man should be running as President
YES
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse - Giant Of The Senate - Keep holding truth to power!
I don't understand why he is not the norm in Washington and how we've become the circus that we often are.
Because Character, Intergrity and Morals have gone by the wayside and not the EXCEPTION it's really the greatest downfall of all??
@@sandyd3686 Sheldon/Nina Turner 2024 or someone with either Robert Kennedy Jr or Maxwell Frost, AOC or Marianne Williamson. Let's stop feeding the Military Industrial Mendacious Complex!!!!
These women who are speaking out are incredibly brave !
They are going against the grain of insanity and male control.
@Coaching By Daisy it is incredibly brave because speaking truth to idiots, i.e. the GOP/MAGAs is opening themselves up to death threats.
I think it’s brave when you consider the level of violence the so called ‘Christian’s’ and their political hacks will go to to realise their agenda
to
It isn’t brave to kill unborn human beings. It’s cowardly to pick on someone who can’t defend himself (or herself)
Senator Whitehouse would be an incredible President!!!🇺🇲
PRESIDENT WHITEHOUSE 💙🤘😎🇦🇺
But he's not going to run. He's more useful where he is.
Unfortunately someone would probably shoot him dead like Malcolm, Martin, Robert and John.
Thanks, again to Sen. Whitehouse for clarifying the heinous laws that are being legislated by the GOP.
Not passed, just threatened by a bunch of hateful idiot's !! Stop them now !!!
Like what? Dont murder babies? Abortion is the definition of "heinous"!
State legislated laws are per the wishes of their respective constituents through their elected state representatives. The wishes of those citizens merit respect even if you do not agree with them.
Thank you Sen. Whitehouse.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, for addressing this important issue.
Tell it like it IS Senator Whitehouse! Thank you for the pride you take in your job.
I had an abortion 35 years ago. One of the hardest decisions of my life. This man has empathy for something he will never have to experience. So thank you!
I know right ?! The gop act as if its a careless decision but its exactly the opposite
Men and women are responsible for their own reproductive choices.
Imagine if we had a government staffed by individuals like Senator Whitehouse
We can. VOTE BLUE!
What a glorious thought
It's to the point where listening to practically any one other than Sheldon Whitehouse and a few others is just blah, blah, blah business as usual. Our country and it's real Americans are suffering too greatly for it.
Heaven on earth!!
The Beach Boys said it: Wouldn’t it be Nice.
It’s wonderful to listen to a politician that reminds me of America before. Maturity and dignity from Senator Whitehouse is addictive.
Except that addiction is shunned by the republicans and pro lifers.
GOP the OPPOSITE
politicians like whitehouse keep my hope in government alive.
I've grown weary of so much of the anti productive nonsense that comes out of Washington that Sheldon Whitehouse reassures me I / WE can't give up. He is a beacon in the storm and one of the most intelligent, dedicated, consistent and truly Honorable Men we have.
But alot of the other liars really made me upset.
@@petemavus2948 Agree 👍 💯 👌 Never give up/in fight for what's RIGHT our Freedoms, Rights and Democracy Vote Blue Vote 💙 💙 👍
I LOVE SENATOR SHELDON WHITEHOUSE!!!!
President Whitehouse 😊. Wouldn't that be nice. ❤

Thank you Senator Whitehouse for bringing sanity back to Congress!
TY Sen. Whitehouse!
Thank you for exposing Alito's lies at his confirmation hearing, Sen. Whitehouse. Please do the same for Phoney Barrett, who also lied about Roe at her hearing, and I believe Kavanaugh did, too, both stating it was settled precedent, and they wouldn't dream of overturning it. Didn't hear Gorsuch's hearing, but what are the chances, as we are now finding out about his corruption, too.
Liars on the high court is doing massive damage to USA’s reputation.
We need to stop saying other countries are corrupt while we have corrupt judges in our highest court.
well saïd!
Yup Gorsuch too.
Gorsuch authored Bostock v. Clayton County (the worst decision in human history). He is a social liberal through and through.
Illegitimate court = illegitimate laws.
Senator Whitehouse is a strong advocate for the women, men, and children of our country! We need ALL of our elected officials to serve in the same way!
Thank you for all you do, Sen. Whitehouse - from a fellow Rhode Islander.
Wish my fellow Hoosiers were not Rightwing media brainwashed ! A family tradition to vote Right even if it's wrong !
THIS is the type of person I want in government. A real adult who is a consummate professional while having great concern for his constituents.
Not one like Gym Jorden?
He doesn't hate women. Some of the others appear to have regard for saving the lives of women. That is just sad. It is all about ego. They have not been to medical school, but they are so sure they know everything. The wants who write the laws for the state are not medical professionals . They are clueless.
Yes I love it when the mature adults are in the room ❤
Justice Alito is egregiously wrong. He lied to get the 'lifetime' appointment and should be removed.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for caring about women and our rights.
Get ready for many women dying in childbirth.
Men, get ready to raise children on your own thanks to the radical Republican court.
Men will just drop off their kids at the nearest orphanage like in days of old.
@@veronicareitherreese6671or dump them on their mothers and sisters.
They will just find a rot-wing “Mother”, Lotta them out there with Red Hats.
@@veronicareitherreese6671
USA doesn’t have orphanages.
But I get what you’re saying.
My grandmother died leaving an 11 day old infant and 6 other children. My grandfather had to raise them on his own. These things will happen at alarming rate. Lots of blood on trump, McConnell and SC hands.
@@LiberalinOregon Yeah. Orphanages just evolved into an overwhelmed and overburdened foster care system. Orphanages might not exist but orphans still do and the US political system does nothing about them.
A very intelligent man people should listen to him.
Senator Whitehouse is the man. A brilliant Senator whom must hold the Justices accountable. Thomas IMPEACH please.
Again, listen closely he is spot on.
I love Senator Whitehouse so much I want to call him Uncle Sheldon.😊
I'd love to call him President Whitehouse

The day Mr. President announced he was running for president I became a grassroot donor. I knew he didn't have much money so I stepped up and began my plan. I donate year round. I have been blessed with my profession. I am a PharmD ie Doctorate in Pharmacy. I butget everything, before I became a grassroot donor. I have set x amt of money aside from everything. I would cut back on some just to help the Democrats win.
Sen Whitehouse is astounding!
Love him and his ethics !!!
Sen. Whitehouse is an example of what all politicians should be.
He is an example of what all Americans should be - advocating for the rights of All.
Thanks to the brave citizens with supporting testimony , praise for Sen. Whitehouse for helping these voices rise . An American hero.
Thank you Sen. Whitehouse. This assault on abortion rights is absolutely insane. How can anyone in their right mind justify it? Really appreciate your hard work on this and other issues. Hope smooth sailing for you.
Abortion is not a right. It's governance is up to the individual state legislatures based on the desires of their constituent citizens.
I’m terrified for my daughters, 18 and 23. So many women are gonna die and even then, they won’t care. Look at the gun laws, after so many of our children being killed, they still don’t care. What is happening to this country?! Vote vote vote.
VOTE BLUE! 💙💙💙💙

America's Senator! ❤
I can only hope these testimonies reach a wider audience. Thank you Senator!
Faux will air them later ... once they edit .
The willfully ignorant that most need to see it will choose not to do so.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for all you do. You are a gem.❤️
We love you Sen Whitehouse
Senator Whitehouse is so amazing!!
Thank you for your work! This county needs all the help it can get.
Senator,You are a true warrior for democracy ✊✌️
💙🇺🇸💙
Great job Senator Whitehouse! We sure appreciate and need you so much in this country ❤! Wish we could have some actions against these Supreme Court judges who actually have less truthful opinions that they have covered up just to get a seat on the Supreme Court, could be removed from the Supreme Court! I do believe that the Federal Society has been involved with getting these judges on the bench.
Yes and all the dark money and favors bestowed upon those Justices through extremely right wing billionaires.
Just LOVE this man. Respect.
Thank you, Rhode Island, for being good and smart enough to send - and keep resending - this man to Congress.
The country needs this man. Now more than ever.
Thank you, Senator.
I love Senator Whitehouse. I wish he would run for president or at least the Vice💙💜💚🇺🇸
He's got the right name.
@@blakkat4126 Well-played, sir! Can't believe I never thought of it quite that way!
He can do a lot more good in the Senate. He can be there for years as opposed to a POTUS who only gets at the most 8 years to get things right and who is likely to be hampered by dealing with an opposing party which in the case of the GOP whose members for the most part are willing and even eager to oppose anything a Democratic President my try to enact no matter how it may benefit voters.
Right now we need him in the Senate advocating for all of us
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, for refusing to not talk about a bad SCOTUS decision.
Until the right-to-lifers worry as much about the children being massacred by gun violence as they do about unborn fetuses, the words "sanctity of life" should never pass their lips.
@@StopWhining491 Exactly, they only know how to elicit fear, shame, division etc. yet have no solutions but their Authoritarianism.
This is a man whom I have the greatest respect for. Everytime I hear him speak in a Hearing, he speaks with candor, empathy and high moral standards!! I wish that we had more Senators & Congressmen like him!! We wouldn't be experiencing this absolute chaos by the MAGA's!!!
Thank you!! A Gramie in California.
Another huge Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
It doesn’t have to be today or even this year, but Senator Whitehouse needs to be Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Yes ... but only after he's been president for two terms.
Needs to be president ... or replace Thomas on SCOTUS.
Thanks, can you just run for President already?? One of the few upstanding senators on the floor. 👏
Senator Whitehouse, thank you for again being the American people's hero and highlighting how dire these decisions by the Supreme Court are for women's health and women's right to make decisions about their own bodies. That this Supreme Court tied doctors hands when caring for American women is despicable and unconscionable. Thank you for the doctor and the courageous women that came forward to testify about how this horrendous decision by the Supreme Court has impacted their lives.
And countless other women who find themselves in a situation of choosing what is most appropriate and medically sound for themselves.
Actually, they did say it was precedent and wouldn't be overturned. They lied to be confirmed. That's b hit & switch, a type of fraud, a felony.
Much gratitude Sheldon! You are appreciated, loved and admired by so many of us. Anna is correct. You are our HERO!
Mad respect. The voice of reason, knowledge and humanity. ❤
Thank you so very much Senator Whitehouse! We have a battle on our hands and we need all the help we can get!
Signed - A very pissed off older woman!
Great Senator ❤
Thank you Senator, you have been an inspiration to sanity in governance.
Senator Whitehouse is one of the most effective Legislators in American history. His scholarship, articulate and carefully reasoned analyses, selection of expert witnesses and close questioning of all witnesses should earn him a seat on SCOTUS. He would make a superb Chief Justice!
Alito is not the only one who lied to get their 'lifetime' appointment.
Hail, hail the gang's all here !!
My heart breaks for all the women and their families who are going to suffer because of a bunch of religious zealots sitting on the Supreme Court! 💔
each of the Trump appointed justices played legal word salad about abortion being "precedent, etc" but each of them never stated that they would over-turn it. They lied by omission
They lied. They misrepresented the truth.. I wonder how much they were paid off.
TY Senator Whitehouse
Bless you Senator Whitehouse 🙏 🙌
Thank you senator. I agree the Supreme Court needs to be term limited and subject to removal.
Wow, thank you for sharing this. Straight to the point. The justices have proven that they no longer care about right and wrong. The court needs to be revamped.
Dry rot !
Thank you Senator Whitehouse , I love how you are so crystal clear at explaining issues. I'm extremely glad your in our corner, hope you live forever.
Using logic and reasonable approaches to this issue Do NOT work when dealing with MAGA GQP & Christians… The Prize is November 2024 - Please VOTE 💙
The distort Christianity
@@lindamullins1446 I agree. True christians have nothing to do with the bullshit that's expounded by the zealots!!!! Just like true republicans have nothing to do with the maga cult.
So true.
When your own judges lie to you, you should know you're in trouble America!
Thank you. The Supreme Court has become a joke.
What those justices did was like a person breaking into your home stealing things of value. What compounds the thief is the person pretended to be your friend
You must mean the trusted, honored and all-for-America, SCOTUS !!
... practicing medicine without a license.
Excellent analysis by Sen. Whitehouse. Yes, in going back to white/male/racist History as a basis, the Court ignored human rights.
This man is the best lawyer in the land. Thank you for your honesty You are a asset to our country.
Sometimes we're presented with something that cuts through all the B.S. we get theses days, or even things that can be confusing through no nefarious action by someone.
Sen. Whitehouse just gave us such a something.
If anyone still doesn't think it is imperative we expand the SCOTUS if given the opportunity, then please point them to this video.
Senator Please hold them accountable .Every Oath any scotus jurists should still be in effect .And as such they are breaking them comiting Perjury
A masterclass in how to be an effective Civic Leader protecting the rights of the citizens they oversee vs. just another politician looking to perpetually score points for their next election cycle.
Again and again Senator Whitehouse proves that he is a man for the people!
ALito reminds me of a priest during the Inquisition. Power power power
Whitehouse is another Presidential quality (D) Senator. We have GOT to smash the GOP '24 elections and save our country.
🌏🇺🇸👁💙💃🏽⚖️🗳💃🏽💙👁👄👂🏾↕️🔄↕️
Omg senator whitehouse , you are blessed to be. It bring tears to myself knowing someone like you understanding women rights ..as myself I stood for my own two daughters , and my grand daughters .. including our aunts and nieces … those judges didn’t understand meaning of women rights and why did we fought to protect ours .. we are not second class citizens
Powerful but awful stuff. Thanks for sharing this, Senator.
The right wing "justices" have behaved monstrously, & in some cases, illegally. I believe within a year or 2, Senator Whitehouse will rectify much of this disaster. He needs us as well.

Sheldon Whitehouse. Need I say more?A champion of human rights.
I'm going to register my daughter as a corporation so she can have equal footing in the new southern comfort US.
HaHa!
It's to bad no one insisted SCOTUS to show up at a Senate hearing to substantiate their findings for overturning their prior decisions.
The Republican SCOTUS Justices, including/especially Roberts, believe themselves to be above the law.
Alito is a snake ! He lied in the beginning..,.I'd love to see his END on SCOTUS !
Senator Whitehouse is amazing. He's got the history, the facts, the reality of what has happened! It's atrocious that these women have had to go through they have!!!!!
Always a proponent of justice and democracy, Senator Whitehouse is a beacon of light in a sea of legislative darkness.
He is our Senator..best vote i ever cast! RI here
I don't know how this man doesn't have the largest subscriberships on TH-cam. He is so hardworking and dedicated to all the most threatening issues confronting our Nation today and everything that brought us here. One of the most intelligent we have in Government, I wish I/we could do more to help him in every way. Thank You Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is not enough.
People don’t know about his channel please share, and then go watch politics girl she needs viewers as well. They are both heroes. Ty please share
Time to sue SCOTUS and theUS and state assemblies for practicing medicine without a license! The law does not give non-medical professionals the right to make healthcare decisions.
I will say it again, this man should be the President
Sheldon Whitehouse is an incredible man!!!
It's a good thing I just passed my bar exam, because now I can offer medical advice.
Good one ! Absurd, isn't it ? A lawyer assuming to be a Doctor of Medicine !!!! ????
Unbelievable. I hope this gets turned around soon. Putting a mom's life at risk because republicans are too stupid to see the harm they're causing is just simply horrible. And lying to get on the supreme court should be a crime. Vote blue 🔵💙
The White House needs Whitehouse.
How can we continue in the US with our highest court being loaded with these Corrupt Lier’s ?
Keep up the good fight Senator. We love you❤
I think you would make a great POTUS. Please consider
Senator Whitehouse, I'm so grateful for your patience, integrity, your steadfast efforts. You are a true American Hero.
Thanks so much Senator Whitehouse!💙💙
That is precisely what they are. Sleeper Agents. And we know who at least some of them are. And they, need to go into an immediate suspension, while being investigated. Instead of sitting there, making our laws.
Senator Sheldon, you are a remarkable public severant. Thanks again and again for all your hard work for the people of this country!!🙏
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. Sir, this means so much to hear Someone question SCOTUS serious lack of knowledge and integrity.
Thank you & God bless you Senator Whitehouse!
Excellent, Sleeper Agent!
Priceless! ✨✨✨✨✨
